All, |

|
| 3 |
we are getting closer to being able to deprecate |
| 4 |
/etc/init.d/functions.sh, but I have a couple of questions I need input |
| 5 |
from this list about. They are in the comment of the bug [1]. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The first is about /etc/init.d/functions.sh. That link is not needed at |
| 8 |
all by scripts in OpenRc. It was only there to provide backward |
| 9 |
compatibility for non-OpenRc scripts, which at the time, were gentoo |
| 10 |
tools only. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So, should I change it in OpenRc from a symlink to a script that prints |
| 13 |
out an ewarn to let people know it will be deprecated? If so, I can't |
| 14 |
refer to anything that is gentoo related, so it would just say please |
| 15 |
stop sourcing this file. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The second question is about the rc_nocolor variable. This is an |
| 18 |
undocumented variable which can be set in /etc/rc.conf to force OpenRc |
| 19 |
to not use color in its output. Is this something that should be carried |
| 20 |
over to gentoo-base-functions? Also, is it worth a config file in /etc |
| 21 |
for one variable? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Thoughts would be appreciated. |

Thanks, |
| 26 |
